WOW!
Been a user for many years. Excellent EFB. No need to pay $$$$$ for “What everyone uses”. Only 99 CENTS/YEAR for everything a VFR pilot will ever need!
Very happy with it
Been running WingX for years. Really like the split screen feature. Support has been great too.
Support is lacking
I love the WingX program and have used it for years, but their support is less than stellar and quite opaque. There’s no option to see what your password is for the account and trying to reset my forgotten one has become a nightmare. I’m almost ready to ditch WingX and move on to something new but I’ll try for a while longer.

A hoax and a con. Buy Foreflight.
I paid for what was advertised as the $75 per year advanced IFR, but after they took my money, I discovered that I have to pay $75 twice ($150) to get it. A con and a hoax in my opinion. Get foreflight and be happier… I want my money back!
Never updated
They used to provide a fee free option for a cfi but recently took that away. Since it was free, I had the app installed and every so often would check if there were ever updates to work smoother. Nope. Not sure what their target is for this app, but it isn’t very useful
I think the intent of giving out a cfi free version is we would show others such as the students, and they would like what they see and subscribe. I never had a single person choose it, when both foreflight and garmin pilot are full feature apps, that are updated so they actually continue to work.
This is a palm pilot based design, and it shows. Only has 2 stars for the former ability to show to others for free, but I’d give it one or less now since they don’t even offer that.

Free usable options and paid option affordable.
Nice app. Seems to be stable and functions well.
Great app
Everything works great. I like the 5 pages of scratch. One thing that needs a bug fix is that the ADSB traffic shows up as double. So when I’m in a congested area I see double the traffic then there really is.
WingX CFI Program
I previously wrote that I was unable to det a hold of WingX support but they finally answered the phone and renewed my CFI WingX software. Thank You WingX
WingX CFI Program
I’ve used the WingX CFI free subscription program for several years and I commend them for having this program and supporting flight instructors. However this year when I attempted to renew the subscription I have not heard from Hilton Software. Their online support form does not work and they do not answer the phone.
I am curious if they are still in business and hopefully they will see this review and confirm that this app is still good. I gave 5 stars because it has been a good program, however I do not recommend that anyone purchase the software now since there seems to be no support.

No terrain profile button/view on iPhone
It would be great to add terrain profile button to iPhone app. It exists in iPad but absent for some reason in iPhone. However the feature is very convenient to estimate terrain profile on the route when planning.
wing x pro
i have used this app for several years fly often always showed t f r restrictions real time since i operate out of and in the DCA NY and KILG wilmington (biden) air space. easy to use and great for flight planning. thr IFR extra is worth it too incase your panel goes off.
even had one situation where my encoder was showing a decent while ifr, atc was alarmed and the altimiter and wass altitude read out on wing x showed my actual altitude so it was a no brainer. i have no complaints. like it a lot.

Don’t waste your money on ForeFlight
This does everything for flight does and more and it’s simple and to the point and priced about west they all should be charging not what they think they can get pricing like outer company’s like for flight are doing
Where are the fuel prices?
I love this app, but the fuel price option stopped working in the free version. Went for the $75.00 paid version. Still no fuel prices!? What do I have to do to get fuel prices?? If you change your policy on that, figure out a way to let users know please.
Update. Weather feed down again
GEO referencing is down now. When they sent out the new database update, there apparently was an error that caused you referencing to fail.I called Support and it would seem the only support is over email. If you’re stuck in a place that has crappy Internet service you’re kind of screwed the bottom line is too many errors, too many issues, for this to be considered a professional pilot quality app.If you’re an occasional pilot and don’t mind some downtime in your EFB, then this app should be fine for you. However, if you are a professional, and your performance, depends on this app, running reliably, you may want to consider something else. I am.
I’ve been using this app for many years, and for the most part has been super reliable, except for one aspect: every once in a while, real time airport weather, TAF‘s, METAR’s, go down, and you can’t get route weather. Well, it happened again and it’s been down for four days. I’ve called, I’ve emailed, but no responses. I use this thing for work and right now I have to rely on my students and my copilot. The razzing I’m getting from people who are using. ForFlight is amazing. If I can’t get this resolved by tomorrow, close of business, I’m going to have to bail on WingX and transition to something else. Update. I still can’t get a TAF or METAR. Screen shows 5 day old weather. Looks like me, my company, and my students will be moving to a different EFB.

No Canadian Coverage.
To all Canadian pilots out there. Don’t waste your time with this app. There are no VFR sectionals for Canada. If you want a low cost alternative, stick with FltPlan Go.
To bad, I like to support these smaller outfits.

Map is not working.
Can not use the app with the new update OS 16. Map moves off the screen.
Seriously buggy interface, beware!
I regret to have to write this unflattering review about my experience with the wing X app. Last week I downloaded it to my iPad as I am a student pilot. I attempted to purchase a database subscription and encountered an error message only after the purchase had processed through the App Store. I thought it was related to the subscribing email address not matching my Apple ID so correct that, purchased again, and encountered the same error message. It turns out that the moronic web developers who have written wing X did not first create a sign in or register screen, and they did not allow me to register for an account before excepting my purchase attempt. This is just crazy and unacceptable.
I had to seek A refund for the first purchase through the Apple store. I have written to Hilton, the company that is responsible for the wing X app, and will see how they respond.
In my opinion, the user interface is terrible, offensively bad in that it does not request user account creation or login before permitting access to interior screens including purchase selections.
Hopefully they will fix this. If not, there are other excellent map and navigation apps for student pilots that I would consider using instead.

Can’t login to use it
I can’t login using the trial period. It won’t come off the login screen. Too much crap on this screen. There is no Login button. I deleted it since I couldn’t get pass the confusing login screen.
Disappointed
I’ve been using WingX for many years now but their development has really fallen down. After one of their major releases about a year ago, I needed to buy a new iPad to get their software to run. Also, the FAA added lightening strikes, icing, airmets, and other helpful weather info to their FIS-B broadcasts over 2 years ago I believe and WingX still is not able to show that information. Are you serious? To my mind WingX and Foreflight were the top EFB choices but now WingX is just another also ran-ran.
